Get Involved at a Panto
Start with some afternoon drinks to get everyone in the right mood, and then visit a pantomime. It’ll remind you of your childhood, and you can shout ‘oh no he didn’t’ as much as you like. If your company is based in London, the New Wimbledon Theatre is showing Cinderella starring Matthew Kelly, Wayne Sleep and Time Vine, a line up which promises a hilariously silly couple of hours.
